at page https://wiki.chessdom.org/TCEC_Swiss_5 i read :

Drofa is "upgraded to new engine Equisetum"

but nowhere i can find that engine, eg. at GitHub .. do you really work on "Equisetum" ? Just curious ..

OK, in the TCEC chat i read :

Equisetum is a private UCI-compatible chess engine by Alexander Litov (No4b) - it is the renamed upgrade of !Drofa and uses a NNUE trained on Drofa data. First TCEC appearance: S25 Swiss5.

Hello, as it is stated in TCEC info, Equisetum is a private project. Briefly, it uses current Drofa search combined with NNUE evaluation, trained with CUDAd trainer on Drofa data.

It will remain private for a while, no plans to release it in any way the near future.

Thank you for taking interest. Best wishes, No4b
